Foo Records Three-Point Night in Overtime Loss to Ontario

STOCKTON, CALIF. - Spencer Foo scored 2 goals and added an assist but the stalemate between the Heat and Ontario Reign was finally broken during the three-on-three overtime with the Reign taking the game by a 6-5 final. It was a wild home opening night at Stockton Arena as the Heat got off to a great start with goals from Foo, Andrew O'Brien, Glenn Gawdin and Morgan Klimchuk, which sandwiched one Ontario tally to take a 4-1 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game. Ontario battled back though and ended up scoring three-straight to tie the game up after the first 20 minutes. The teams traded markers in the second, including Foo's second of the night and neither team could beat the other in the third, sending the game to three-on-three overtime. Stockton dominated possession, and had a clear chance on goalie Peter Budaj, but the netminder made the save, resulting in the Reign heading off to the races the other way. Ontario's Mikey Eyssimont pegged one off the crossbar but Alex Lintuniemi followed it up and put it behind Heat goalie Jon Gillies to give the extra point to the visitors. The Heat look to avenge the loss when they take on the Ontario Reign on Friday, October 12 at 7:00 p.m. at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Southern California.
